I bought it so I'm obligated to? Something like that, anyway. <br /><br />You can totally come and visit me too! Must we also go to Harry Potter land? MUST WE? (We can if you want. I really need a freaking Hufflepuff scarf.) TOTALLY EXCITED FOR OUR LETTER WRITING TO HAPPEN. Especially yours cause you can draw and shit, you know.

God, I'm going to go on so many zoo visits, I might as well get the season ticket... :D<br /><br />I got really good at not buying crap a couple of years ago because I was kind of relying on it too much to make me happy AND I was running out of space in my old half a bedroom. Now I've got my own room and I STILL have too much stuff because I buy crap. But the point is, yes, I don't need the stuff and I would like to have some kind of money at the end of the month so.. Working on it. <br /><br />The letter thing is noted! I'll definitely start writing to folk once my essays are handed in and I've just got to do a tiny dissertation (nbd, 15000 words is a breeze!)

That's going to be the drink I pick) but I also don't want to be so reliant on it/have it be such a drain on my moneys. Not that it's SO expensive, but I don't need the extra cost, ya know?

But is it bad that I just want to go in the day like a child and see all the animals and whatnot? (no)<br /><br />29 things IS hard. This list was pretty hard and it's mostly just bullshit things anyway. Maybe like 3 real goals and 26 bullshit ones for you? Feels right haha.<br /><br />Mate, that Ghibli museum is fully on my bucket list now. I am all over coming to Japan but, you know, no money, so for now I'm settling for watching a crapload of anime and reading Murakami books. Which... Is not a bad way to live haha Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-87603995528862302412015-04-24T17:24:17.681+01:002015-04-24T17:24:17.681+01:00Can we make this a thing please?

I love your list. It's totally okay to make a list of some things that are a given because it's so satisfying to cross them off, and it still counts because you're going to have to do them anyway... like read War and Peace :P <br />Tika is going to visit you?! How exciting! I want to visit you too at some point, so pencil me in your list for next year or so, hahaha! Send me your address! I'll send you a handwritten letter!

When I wasn't working I got really good at just not buying things (because I didn't have much of a choice!). I'm hoping I can stay in the habit now I'm actually earning again.<br /><br />I love paper letters, both receiving and writing.

Never thought I'd be able to stop - I'd been drinking the stuff from being about 9 or 10 to when I hit 30. I had to stop, it was actually making me poorly. But it is possible. :) I don't even miss it, I haven't drank it since I decided to stop and that was 3 years ago. <br /><br />Good luck! :Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-63682533797041238662015-04-20T10:18:53.341+01:002015-04-20T10:18:53.341+01:00Ooh do they still have that thing in the summer wh...Ooh do they still have that thing in the summer when London Zoo is open in the evenings and there's a silent disco and stuff? Because I went to that a few years ago with some friends and it was really fun! If you have a chance, I recommend it.<br /><br />I am currently in the middle of copying you and writing a 29 before 30 list, woohoo! Coming up with 29 things is hard! Also that's more than 2 things a month! So I may need to just make a list of 10 goals or something, hehe.<br /><br />Also YES STUDIO GHIBLI. I should totally put watching the ones that I haven't seen on my list too. (Although I think that the ones that I haven't seen apart from Nausica are the slightly iffy ones, hehe)<br /><br />You know what you should put on your list? Coming to Japan and going to the Ghibli museum. IT HAS A CAT BUS THAT YOU CAN PLAY IN (if you are under 5 or something. But still!) AND IT IS MAGICAL!Jimjamjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249933703532348607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-69577037163315872412015-04-20T06:50:13.783+01:002015-04-20T06:50:13.783+01:00It is an excellent phrase!

Yes. <br /><br />Ok, so swings and roundabouts is kind of like saying 6 of one and half a dozen of the other, ie I don't have this thing, but this thing might not be as good as it's supposed to be so it doesn't really matter in the end? That's kind of the best way I know how to describe it... Did it make sense?!
